Load weight of wall cupboards



Hi, anyone know what the average max load weight of kitchen wall
cupboards are?
They are the usual MFI numbers and the wall brackets are SECURELY
fastened using rawplugs into GP1 blocks,

I'm not after hanging small cars off them, just wanted to know if it
would be OK to place a 4 piece dinner set in them as It's a pain
bending up and down to put them away under the sink!!
I have a 12 piece in mine. It hasn't fallen off the wall.

TBH I didn't even think twice about it, are your cupboards
particularly flimsy
IIRC, in the old days MFI wall units were held by 2 screws through the
hardboard back, and this was pinned to the carcass with tacks.
Doesn't answer your question, but:

A pair of adjustable DIN68840 (the three way adjustable sort) hanging
brackets are rated to 70kg.
Sounds similar to whats on these, few plates/bowls will be OK I'd
imagine then :-)
Well.....I use a set of cheap MFI kitchen cupboards in my workshop to
hold the bits and bobs from my cylindrical grinder. These are solid
cast iron chucks, faceplates, internal spindles etc and are seriously
heavy ! I run a batten under the cupboards so that they not only are
held by the shear force of the normal fixings, but also have bottom
support, and they stand up to it amazingly well. YMMV !
